The Second St. Ives Lancers participated in [[Operation THUNDERSTRIKE]], the Capellan Confederation's response to the Capellan March invasion of their land. They landed on [[New Syrtis]] and fought the [[Vanguard Legion]] and the [[Third Ceti Hussars]]. They were on St. Ives when the [[Word of Blake]] struck, and sustained heavy losses. The Blakist strike destroyed nearly eighty percent of the regiment.<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 18</ref>

In [[3085]], they were stationed on St. Ives.<ref name=FM3085p34/> As they rebuilt in the wake of the Jihad, the unit began to accumulate an unusually high number of quads such as the ''[[Goliath]]'', gaining the regiment a new nickname: "[[Cochraine's Goliaths|Cochraine's Revenge]]''.<ref name=rg22p6/>

Assigned to take the Capellan March world of [[Atlas (system)|Atlas]] during the initial waves of [[Operation CELESTIAL REWARD]], with the Second St. Ives Lancers featuring more assault 'Mechs than any other CCAF regiment, the Second Lancers easily outmassed the defending [[Second Syrtis Fusiliers]] [[LCT]]. Briefly engaged by the Fusiliers' lighter but far more maneuverable 'Mech forces, the Davion unit held the Lancers in place long enough for Second Fusiliers' company of [[Arrow IV]]-equipped [[Yellow Jacket]] VTOLs and [[Paladin Defense System|Paladin]] artillery vehicles to inflict heavy damage and casualties on the Second Lancers, buying time to withdraw off-world. Remaining as the garrison of Atlas, with all the unit's casualties inflicted by the Davion artillery, the Second's CO actively looked towards better ways of combating it in future, requesting both additional air support and an artillery company for counterbattery fire.<ref name=FM3145-37>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 37: "Capellan Confederation - St. Ives Armored Cavalry - Second St. Ives Lancers"</ref><ref name=FM3145-78>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 78: "Federated Suns - Capellan March Brigade - Second Syrtis Fusiliers"</ref>
